@SeanTrende By my count, only 1 House race will lack a Dem, while 19 will lack a GOPer. I know you've mentioned that missing GOP votes can be imputed, but most people who crunch the final national votes don't do that.

@KurtSchlichter @varadmehta "I'm going to take an extra 60 seconds upfront to save myself 10 seconds when I'm leaving."

@DrewSav I do overall feel that the extended versions are better (even if perhaps too long for your average theatre-goer.) That said, I greatly object to the re-taking of Osgiliath scene in the extended TT, for reasons we can correspond on, if you wish.

@FreyChristopher I remember getting my first email account upon arrival at UVA, amazed that one could correspond so easily with high school friends at different colleges. No web back then, but I was on USENET too much!

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

@SeanTrende One problem with basing too much on "net House popular vote" is that Dems may well contest all 435 House seats this cycle, while the GOP may not in something like a dozen seats, inc. CA lockouts. (Though that may change if certain states re-open filing.)

Any Election Night drinking game which includes
@SteveKornacki using the term "bedroom community" ensures quick intoxication.

@ChrisPeleoLazar Dude, these days I go into DC like once every year or two!

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

TX: Colin Allred, Quico Canseco, Mayra Flores, Steve Stockman; UT: Ben McAdams; VA: Bob Good*, Elaine Luria, Tom Perriello; *=It’s a bit unclear if McKinney/Good actively running (2/2)

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

By my count, there are up to 18 ex-House members running for the House in 2026: AL: Jerry Carl; CA: Hilda Solis; FL: Madison Cawthorn, Chris Collins; GA: Cynthia McKinney*; IL: Melissa Bean, Jesse Jackson Jr.; MD: David Trone; MO: Cori Bush; TN: Van Hilleary (1/2)

I think people who enjoy the Godfather movies tend to be quite fond of Tom Hagen and Luca Brasi, so I'm not sure these are terribly insulting comparisons.

[Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan]

Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) from Senate floor: "I'm from Jersey. We know a thing or two about mob bosses...For every Don Corleone, there's a Tom Hagen and a Luca Brasi, Donald Trump plays the role of the mob boss, but it's his henchmen who are really running the show, Russell Vought and Stephen Miller."

@xenocryptsite I think this is for a couple reasons. Firstly, you had a full month of such intense focus on FL in 2000 that it simply over-shadowed any nat'l vote concerns. Secondly, Gore's 0.5% nat'l margin was more tie-ish than HRC's 2.1% lead.

@bendreyfuss Newt can't be 5. She had already won the 2nd-grade citizenship award, per the photo Ripley found. Also, Carrie Henn was 9 when the movie was filmed.

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

@baseballcrank My assumption has always been that ESB's Rogue Leader WAS "Rogue 1." After all, in the original movie, there was no Red 1, just Red Leader, Red Two, etc.

@CTIronman I hate to trouble you, but since your messages are closed, do you have an email address at which you are OK receiving the very occasional news item, which I might think interests you?

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

@JessicaTaylor Purely as a CD-listening experience, I still prefer the original 1976 concept album. Orchestrations and singing are more "rock"-ish, relative to later stage cast recordings.

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

@JenGriffinFNC Let's just hope that this time they don't get stuck in a time vortex, transporting to December 1941 right before Pearl Harbor, where they have to decide if they'll get involved or not.

@DrewSav My dad had pizza for the first time while at grad school at Stanford, 1953-1954. He still maintains it was the best pizza he ever had.

[Quinn McCord @QTMcCord]

@CTIronman No, but for the people who track (are obsessed with?) such things, going from a +35 to +18 Dem margin (and a +45 to +28 Dem margin) is a biggish shift. Opposite of those FL specials...
